MIA Again!

Sorry I have been MIA again!  Things have been crazy for me at my daytime job and I have been working a lot of extra hours. I thought that when I only had one job that I would have a TON of spare time on my hands.  Boy was I wrong!  That just opened the door for more challenges and exciting things to be able to happen at my day job.  Everyone that knows me, knows that I'm always up for a challenge! 

I have been able to paper craft a little bit more.  I have joined a card club that has 17 members.  We meet once a month and swap our cards.  There is a designated theme for each month and we make X# of the same cards (one for every member able to attend).  This month's meeting was my initial meeting.  It was a blast.  I'm thankful that my friend, Russell thought of me when a position came open and let me tag along with him!  There are so many talented members of the group and I can't wait to learn new techniques and share everyone's creativity! 

And I used my Cricut Imagine for the first time to make my cards for this month--whoo hoo!  I love the fact I can print paper at the touch of a button!!!

This weekend, my husband and I are going to Cincinnati for a weekend getaway (going to go see the Reds Friday night and then piddle around Saturday and Sunday!).

Next weekend, I get to take a Gamasol blending technique class on Friday night and then a card class from the wonderful, Sarah Spencer, CTMH consultant. 

August 6th, my friend Brittani and I are holding another Crop for a Cause charity scrapbook event.  The chosen charity is Meadowstone Therapeutic Riding Facility located in Franklin, IN.  It is a horse riding center that specializes in helping children and adults with developmental disabilities.  It is owned by a retired husband and wife team that relies soley on donations to stay in business!! We have 6 more spots to fill.  If we can do that, we will have 40 people.  We are so excited!!!

Hopefully I can post more frequently!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed things slow down a bit so that I can fuel my passion--Paper crafting!!!!!

Have a great day!!!

May Arts Back to the Beach Challenge

A month or so ago, I saw a post on May Arts Facebook wall stating they had a few more spots in their Back to the Beach Challenge.  They wanted  beach themed ideas and asked you email them a list of ribbon you could envision using in your project and what type of project you'd do.  I emailed Bethney with my idea and she responded that I got one of the last spots. 

I was amazed at the ribbon they sent---I got about 12 different ribbons to use in my project.  I submitted it last night and it will be featured on their website blog one day this week.  The winner of the challenge will get 4 spools of ribbon--yippee--more ribbon!!! I'll post the day that I'm on the blog so you can help "vote" :-)

7 Kids --Heart Challenge

I'm entering this card in the 7 Kids Challenge for the week-

For this card, I used my new Tilda with Heart, Copic Markers Spellbinders die, misc I "heart" U stamp and some handmade paper roses.



Valentines Day Cards

Howdy!  Sorry I haven't posted in a while--I've been busy creating!  This post is going to be pretty short--I injured my shoulder and it's pretty painful to do anything that requires my left shoulder/hand so, it's a little hard to type!  Here are the cards I was able to create this past week/ weekend.  I used my an older Stampin' Up stamp, new High Hopes Monkey stamps and my new Magnolia stamps (have a few more cards to create with some more Magnolias).  Let me know what you think :-)

I was going to list these on Etsy but, due to me not being able to type much, I'll have to wait till later to do that--I guess I can list them as Anniversary or "I love you" cards instead of marketing them as Valentine's day!

Have a great day.

Scraproom

Good evening!  I spent most of the beginning of the month organizing my scraproom in my spare time.  It was OUT OF HAND! The mess I had.  While I have it somewhat organized, I still have a few hours of intensive organizing to get it to where I want.  Here are the pics I took of what it looked like before I started making a scrappy mess!

Thought I'd share these for now!  Once I get the closet cleaned out and organized, I'll post a picture of that as well ;-) 

Have a great evening!
